Rhinoplasty and pain: What Pain Medication can I Expect?

February 8, 2014
Asked By:pcaravella5

I am having rhinoplasty surgery next month. What kind of pain medication should I expect to get? I have had surgery in the past where some have worked better than others. I am trying to figure out if I need to talk with my doctor prior to the surgery. I have taken percocet 5 and hydrocodone 5 and those have done nothing for my pain. What kind of pain medication do you typically prescribe, what MG, and for how long after surgery?
